Unmatched StrengthOur unique three-stage computer controlled tempering
process transforms the hook into a fine grained, ultrastrong microstructure.
This increases strength up to 30 per cent compared
to conventional tempering methods. However, it's not only strength
that is important in this process; Mustad has strict quality
controls over the brittleness and flexibility of their hooks as
well. Mustad's superior technology allows us such control of
the final outcome.Surface treatmentMustad hooks feature a wide range of
colors and finishes, from black nickel and gold to bronze.
The special coatings have been developed to suit the
various types of fishing. E.g. Duratin is used for
long lining hooks and lacquer for freshwater. Mustad also
manufactures stainless-steel hooks in a limited selection. The challenge
within this field is to increase the rust resistance of
our products even more. Rust ResistanceExperienced fishermen will select their
hooks to match the bait or to suit their method
of fishing and local conditions. Some hooks are made
for specific purposes and are thus available only in one
finish, while other patterns come in a variety of coatings.
Different coatings have different features and properties. This
entails that the rust resistance of the hooks may vary.
Mustad runs tests showing how the various coatings compare
in this respect. These tests are carried out in
accordance with the ASTM B-117 norm, set up by the
American Society for Testing and Materials. Tests run in
a salt spray chamber show that hooks coated with stainless
steel will have 3% surface rust, Duratin 8%, and Double
Nickel 30% surface rust after a given number of hours.
The results may vary somewhat, depending first of all
on the thickness of the coating, but also on fishing
conditions, water temperature, type of bait and pH value.Quality control
at all stages of production is of major concern to
the Mustad company. At the initial stage of the
process, every batch of steel wire is physically and chemically
tested in Mustad's laboratories. In addition, hooks are tested
before and after tempering, after surface treatment and when being
packed. Despite the high technological level of our manufacturing
process, the most important contributors to quality assurance are still
the people involved, both those involved in the manufacturing process
and the customers. The feedback Mustad receives from fishermen is
invaluable for the development of quality hooks and their quest
for the perfect hook. With Mustad hooks you can
expect a strong long lasting hook that boasts excellent performance,
time after time. Mustad O'Shaughnessy Dublin Double Point 2/0
